OTTAWA - A group representing thousands of Indigenous-led tourism operators says it doesn t think the recent federal budget will do enough to help the industry avoid collapse.
The Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada asked the government for just over $68 million over three years to help the sector by providing operating grants and a marketing campaign among other measures.
Instead, there was about $2.4 million for this year that the association s chief executive says isn t enough for it to provide targeted help.

I got a call on the weekend from a senior federal Conservative.
Given the number of columns I’ve seen since in a similar vein, I’m guessing I wasn’t the only one.

The purpose of the call to convince me I should reconsider my first impressions of federal Conservative party Leader Erin O’Toole.
Regular readers may recall that earlier this month I labelled O’Toole “a dud.” And that was before he betrayed Canada’s resource provinces (and his Conservative base) by pulling a complete 180 on a federal carbon tax.

OTTAWA – Nunavut’s member of Parliament says she is taking a two-week leave from her political duties because she continues to struggle with personal health problems.
Mumilaaq Qaqqaq says in a statement that a doctor suggested she take some time off.
She says it was a difficult decision to make, but she feels it’s important to follow the doctor’s advice and the leave is not COVID-19 related.
